Hi,I’m testing out the beta auto layout grid and I’ve come across something peculiar and I was wondering if anyone else came across this issue? Is it possible to put text over a background shape? Auto layout does not like this for some reason, it shifts the shape up or down in the grid.I also tried to apply horizontal auto layout and that does seem to work in terms of sitting above the shape however when I adjust the webpage frame that part isn’t responsive. See attached a few example images. Please let me know if anyone has had the same issue and how they were able to resolve this?Thanks

Within figma, is there any chance we would see support of the flex property “direction:ltr or rtl” for layouts with wrap enabled. Just wondering if anyone has any info on this before building this functionality myself for a plugin I’m working on.For folks who want to know the difference. I attached the image main below from an HTML / CSS context. This is primarily used for languages and layouts which are read right to left (RTL) such as arabic, urdu, farsi etc..  

Hello :)I'm working on a software prototype to kinda simulate a Google Chrome (or any Webbrowser) tabbing system with some add. extras. The crucial bit is:- Opening tabs.- Closing tabs.- When opening a tab, it should add it to the top (eg. like google chrome does with new tabs).- When closing a tab, the other open tabs should move all to the left (so there is no empty tab space)(eg. also like google chrome).- Each tab is a different page with subpages and menus.- Within a tab, you can open/close further tabs within. (So it's kinda like a second level tab navigation).This might be a figma overkill (especially the secondary tab level, open/close history), but worth a shot if anyone ever has tried something similar. I guess nested components of each tab is a good start?I've successfully simulated it with loveable, but need a figma prototype now. Thanks a lot in advance :)

Hey, I’m building on a Figma plugin. I’m trying to change the Figma file name if the user types the name & submitted from the plugin. I’m currently using this function. figma.root.name. but it’s still not changing the file name. It still keeps as untitled. Please help me if we even have that capability. 

I understand it’s Pride Month, but this feels a bit too on-the-nose. I can’t find a setting to turn it off.

I have some video files I want to add to my website, but a lot of interaction features have been simplified and none of the videos play. Wondering if it could be a bug of some sort? Already troubleshooted as much as I could, clearing cache and tried placing every video in its separate frame. Possibly would like the videos to play on hover although I don’t think it’s a feature yet. 

After the recent UI3 update, the Auto Layout controls (direction, spacing, padding, etc.) don’t appear in the right sidebar in the Desktop version of Figma — even though Auto Layout is applied.Everything works fine in the browser version. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hi Figma team, Earlier today, my team accidentally purchased the DEV subscription with annual billing, but what we actually need is Full Access, not just an additional DEV seat. Is there any way to change the subscription to Full Access instead? We’re happy to cover any additional cost related to the price difference between roles. I’d really appreciate your help with this

hey guys i just started learning figma and now i am having problem in running my first figma prototype

Hi everyone,I'm currently developing a Figma plugin for our organization, which uses the Enterprise version of Figma. I’m looking for a way to retrieve and store user information (such as email, name, or user ID) automatically when the plugin starts running.I’ve reviewed the Plugin API documentation, but I couldn’t find a clear method to:Access user identity details immediately on plugin launch. Automatically store this data in a Google Sheet or send it to a backend server for logging and access control.This functionality is important for us in an Enterprise context to track usage and enforce internal policies.Questions:Is there a supported way to access the current user’s identity when the plugin starts? Are there any Enterprise-specific APIs or permissions that allow this? What’s the best practice for sending this data to an external service (e.g., Google Sheets or a backend) securely?Any help, examples, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

I have my Figma file set up and created three different flows within the file. I now wanna create links and qr-codes for those three different flows. Would people still be able to access the flows via the qr-code and link, I would make changes on my prototype after I distributed the links? Help would me much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

How to remove or turn off an AI option attached to a frame ? Or to see in the design settings if AI tools are actively used in the selected element ?  For exemple, I was trying “Replace content” in a frame, when I dupplicate I now can only do “Duplicate with new content” and can’t turn off the option, even when removing the autolayout and putting it back.

I am unable to create a password for my prototype, any thoughts as to why?

Hello Figma Community!I’m looking for a quick and easy interaction, ‘on click, set varient state’.  I’m am aware I can do this with variables and conditions however, this is a lengthy and tedious process (especially since I can’t figure out how to copy and paste this conditional logic). I can also do this by creating multiple screens, but again….time consuming and tedious. Does anyone know is this on a future road map or is there currently a way to do this? The lack of this functionality may be a deal breaker for me. 😢 and this is super sad because I love Figma. 

Hi everyone, I was testing the Figma Site, while I set the scroll  behavior to “Vertical” its not working (I’ve checked that the content within is bigger than the frame), and the content is still under “Fixed” category

I am building a Figma Plugin that exports Figma designs to a game engine. I have noticed that if I have items using SPACE_BETWEEN aka “auto”. The outputted itemSpacing is the user defined value and not what's calculated by Figma. See the below diagram, I want the “???” in pixels. Since Figma renders it I assume it must be stored somewhere.  

I just created a Figma Make login workflow that works well and want to export all of the React code that was created by the app. When I switch from Preview to Code, I can see the perfectly structured code and and files but no option to download anything.  When I ask the Figma AI how to download the files, it suggests copy and paste of each file content and recreating locally. This is crazy as there are associated ui and component folders with 100’s of files in them. I am completely lost. Any help greatly appreciated!You can view the project here:https://www.figma.com/make/rpI3wqPgj39LD5Pzezwy68/iPhone-Login-Page-with-Pastel-Colors?node-id=0-1&t=yzDJjeQgWzB43GGG-1&code-node-id=7-46Thanks, Steve

Wait...will I be charged for adding myself? It told me that I’d have 3 days to access Figma (when I was already logged in as myself) until “Admin” (a.k.a me) approves of basically myself? Help, please.
